Amid the hustle and bustle of WhatsApp’s most –anticipating roll out of the year, the ‘Video Calling’ feature, the long-standing ‘Big Boss’ of the video calling application Skype has quietly unveiled a historic feature that is believed, has ‘turned the table’. Skype is now allowing users to make a video call without needing to have a Skype account.

As part of the improvements, Microsoft-owned Skype has now announced this novelty that everyone asked for. It has been a long-standing need for many of its users, as either because they are on other computers, either because they are unable to download the application or simply because they want to have a conversation without sharing contacts.

Earlier this wasn’t possible. But now anyone can use Skype’s video calling service by logging in as a guest. So here’s how you can use Skype without having a Skype account.

Step 1: Access Skype Web

In order to create these temporary chat rooms, you need to go to www.Skype.com and tap on ‘Start a conversation’.

Step 2: Create a Guest Account

To make video or voice call without having an account you have to create a guest account, just by entering your name. And whoa! You’ll get your temporary Skype account ready. No email id, no hassles of password matching.

Step 3: Share the Invite Link with Your Friend

On the next step, you’ll find a link and a copy link button on your left side, just click on it. Once it is copied you can share this link with the person you want to have a conversation with. You can share this link via social networking sites, IM applications and even via email. Your part is over.
